Love Bethan.

Don't like Roman. Could grow on me though (apologies for extended answer ).

janeite · 12/01/2009 20:29

Bethan is okay; I taught a Bethany - but it's not a name I'd choose personally.

Roman - no, I don't like it, sorry.

LaDiDaDi · 12/01/2009 20:29

Not struck by Bethan.

Like Roman.

I think I ought to start looking at other names - not looking too promising!

Roman Polanski?

girlandboy · 12/01/2009 19:55

Bethan - NO!
Roman - yes, but rather depends on your surname.

Tillyscoutsmum · 12/01/2009 19:55

Bethan - don't dislike but not massively keen
Roman - don't like at all

HecateQueenOfGhosts · 12/01/2009 19:54

bethan, not too keen but it doesn't give me the judders

roman - don't like it a bit.

Plonker · 12/01/2009 19:53

Bethan - s'ok
Roman - really don't like

Lizzylou · 12/01/2009 19:50

I like them both, with the right surname/circumstances

I liked Roman when PG, but we lived in Ramsbottom at the time, somehow Roman (insert v northern sounding surname) from Ramsbottom sounded very wrong.
